Karṇa–Sūrya Saṃvāda: Satya, Dāna, and the Amoghā Śakti (कर्ण–सूर्यसंवादः)
ततः प्रत्यवहारो<भूत् सैन्यानां राघवाज्ञया । कृते विमर्दे लड़कायां लब्धलक्ष्यो जयोत्तर:,इस प्रकार लंकामें भीषण मार-काट मचानेके बाद वानरसैनिक लक्ष्यसिद्धिपूर्वक विजय पाकर श्रीरघुनाथजीकी आज्ञासे युद्ध बंद करके शिविरकी ओर लौट गये
tataḥ pratyavahāro 'bhūt sainyānāṃ rāghavājñayā | kṛte vimarde laṅkāyāṃ labdhalakṣyo jayottaraḥ ||
ثم بأمر راغهافا انسحبت الجيوش. وبعد صدامٍ عنيفٍ ساحقٍ في لَنْكا، توقّف جيش الفانارا—وقد أصاب هدفه وأحرز النصر—عن القتال وعاد نحو المعسكر.

Educational Q&A
Even amid war and victory, dharma requires restraint and obedience to legitimate leadership: fighting is for a defined purpose, and once the aim is achieved, violence should cease by command rather than continue out of rage or greed.
After a severe battle in Laṅkā, the vānara forces, having gained the advantage and fulfilled their immediate objective, stop fighting and withdraw to their camp because Rāma (Rāghava) orders them to do so.
